54% of girls under the age of 16 have experienced some form of unwanted sexual attention. 24% of these have experienced sexual assault, and 17% have experienced incest. (J. Holmes and E. Silverman, 1992, We're Here, Listen to Us: A Survey of Young Women in Canada)

In cases reported to police, 80% of sexual assault survivors knew their abusers. About 10% were assaulted by a friend and 41% were assaulted by an acquaintance. 28% were assaulted by a family member, while the remaining 20% were assaulted by a stranger. (Statistics Canada, 2003)

However

Victimization surveys show that less than 10% of women who are sexually assaulted report the assault to the police. (Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Responsible for the Status of Women, 2002, Assessing Violence Against Women: A Statistical Profile, p.19)

This number is even lower (estimated to be 6%) for victims of childhood sexual abuse.

I'm new around here, seems like a cool place though. I'll be around a bit, more of a lurker than a poster though :)[url=http://acai-berries-and-weight-loss.wetpaint.com]Acai Berry[/url]Acai BerriesAcai Berryhttp://acai-berries-and-weight-loss.wetpaint.comAcai Berry
